Autumn Care of Myrtle Grove operates primarily as a nursing home, offering continuous skilled nursing oversight for residents who need comprehensive medical attention. The clinical team is equipped to provide short-term respite care, allowing family caregivers a break while ensuring that temporary residents receive the same level of monitoring and treatment as long-term residents. Physical therapy services are delivered on site, supporting recovery from surgery, illness, or injury through individualized programs designed to improve mobility and strength. For residents managing diabetes, the staff coordinates glucose monitoring, medication administration, and dietary guidance to help keep blood sugar levels stable.
Beyond the core nursing and therapy services, the facility maintains registered nurses on duty around the clock, supported by licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants. Care plans are updated regularly in consultation with physicians, therapists, and family members to address changing health needs. Medication management, wound care, and coordination with outside specialists are handled in-house to minimize the need for external appointments. An emergency call system connects residents directly with the nursing station, ensuring prompt response to urgent medical situations.
Resident rooms are designed for practicality and access to care, with options for private or shared layouts. Some accommodations feature views of the landscaped grounds, while others open onto secure outdoor areas where residents can enjoy fresh air under staff supervision. Wi-Fi is available in most areas, supporting video calls and online activities, although not every room has the same signal strength or device setup. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services are included so that residents can focus on recovery and daily routines.
Dining services provide three balanced meals each day, prepared to align with medical directives and individual preferences. Diabetic and low-sodium menus are available, and the kitchen staff works closely with the clinical team to modify textures or portion sizes as required by therapy or swallowing guidelines. Meals are served in a central dining room that offers the chance for social interaction; room-service style delivery is an option for residents with mobility or health limitations. Snacks and beverages are accessible between meals to help maintain energy levels and support nutritional goals.
The community’s shared amenities include an activity center that hosts scheduled programs such as exercise sessions, crafts, and educational talks. Residents can participate in clubs and interest-based groups, providing structured opportunities for social engagement and peer support. A library and computer lounge offers access to books, periodicals, and internet-enabled computers, giving residents the tools to read, research, or communicate with family members online.
